Sigh. That makes the license remain copyrighted by the FSF, but does not affect your software. Without an explicit transfer of copyright (and a legal step such as transfer of ownership requires _two_ consenting parties and can't be done unilaterally by writing some stuff into a file), the copyright remains with the author. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
